With Cherrie at his side, Kermit went to Rondon and argued that he could use ropes to lower the dugouts over the falls. Rondon considered it a hopeless effort, but because the other men supported Kermit, he agreed to let him try. That was all Kermit needed to stay his father's hand. Roosevelt understood that the best way to ensure Kermit's survival was not to spare him the burden of carrying his father but to give him the chance to do just that.

When an unwitting real estate agent comes to collect his rent from the bed-confined couple, Candy tells him: "We're junkies; I'm a hooker; he's hopeless."

In this way, Armfield lets light into their darkest hours, bringing a heightened sense of mortality that seems to stem from his own childhood.
